In this lecture from This is Why, Dr. Busti will make the identification of the heart borders and heart chambers on a chest x-ray easy. Dr. Busti will walk step-by-step through how to identify the cardiac silhouette, locate the heart borders, and understand where the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle, left atrial appendage, and apex of the heart sit on a standard PA chest x-ray (CXR).

You’ll see how to connect real heart xray images with the underlying heart anatomy.

You’ll learn how to:
- Identify normal heart borders on a chest xray
- Recognize which heart chambers form the right and left heart borders
- Understand where the right ventricle and left atrium actually sit on a CXR
- Use the silhouette sign to localize lung pathology next to the heart
- Apply a simple, repeatable approach to chest xray interpretation

The goal = make medical education easy and clinically relevant.
